Aloo Bonda (Potato Dumpling)

First of all i have to thank my neighbour Ms. Bhavani Tata who introduced me to a Bengali snack "Aloo chop". A very tasty snack. It had a similar taste of Aloo Bonda. She has promised me to give me the recipe. (Once i get it, i will share it with you all.) When i was enjoying Aloo Chop, i thought of making Aloo Bonda. And that's how i ended up making this snack. It is a perfect snack with tea or coffee.

Aloo bonda is also known as Batata Vada in Mumbai. Aloo bonda is a typical South Indian snack. It is a deep fried savoury snack stuffed with potato and spices mixture. Aloo bonda is crispy outside and soft inside.

To make the stuffing, heat oil in a kadai. Put mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let it splutter.

After that add green chilli, ginger and curry leaves. After sometime add onion and salt. When it changes its colour, add red chilli powder and turmeric powder. Mix well.

Now add the boiled mashed potato and mix thoroughly till everything is mixed properly. Take it off from heat.

Add coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix well and keep this aside.

For making the batter, take a bowl and mix gram flour, rice flour, salt, baking powder, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder and red chilli powder with water as required. Make a smooth thick batter with no lumps in it.

Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. Make small balls of the stuffing and dip it in the batter and put in the medium hot oil.

When the balls turn golden brown colour transfer it into a tissue paper.
